The Hunter Valley Railway Trust was a collection of items located in North Rothbury, New South Wales, Australia on the site of the Rothbury Riot.[1] It included various types of rolling stock, such as coal and freight wagons and passenger coaches, and a variety of ex-New South Wales Government Railways locomotives. It also included seven of the fourteen heritage-listed South Maitland Railways 10 Class locomotives, until they were sold. In 2022, the trust was evicted to make way for housing after a Supreme Court of New South Wales court case.[2][3]
